liabilities, which were all unsecured, would
not exceed $4,000 while the assets would
scarcely reach $50, 900 The direct cause of
the failure was depression in Massachusetts,

by any Knight of Labor Assembly to join
the secession from the order was taken to

actually taken, however, action being con-
fined to appointing committee to confer
with the Provisional Committee, of which
Joseph A. Buchanan is the ruling spirit.

been divulged, further than that it will be

FIGHT OF THE ANARCHISTS.
The Counsel on Both Sides Preparing
Their Argum ments.

4uSr arguments
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The counsel on
both sides in the Chicago Anarchists cases
are busily engaged IN preparing the argu-
ments which they will make in the United
States Supreme Court on Thursday 1t is
probable that Gen. Pryor and Gen. Butler
will speak in support of the petition FOR a
writ of error, and that Attorney General
Hunt, of Illinois, will ask formal leave of
the court to make an oral argument in be-
half of the State, and in opposition to the
petition. Mr. Salomon, of the counsel for
the Anarchists, said to-day that he had not
sent a telegram TO Chicago expressing dis
couragement or doubt as to the granting Of
the writ and that the report in circulation
to that effect was entirely without founda-
tion.
GETTING READY TO HANG THEM.
CHICAGO, Oct 25.-Preparations are
already being made for the great anti
Anarchist drama of Nov. II. Already or
ders have been given, it is said, to the mem
bers of the Second Regiment Illinois Ma
tional Guard that they will be required to
be on duty for full week, or per-
haps longer, prior to Nov. IL, at
their armory, or wherever else
their services may be required The
probabilities are that the First regiment will
NC upon W w Uil0 IL ID uilOlel-
stood, however, that neither of the regi-
ments will be called from their respective
armories, unless in case of absolute need.
1t is also stated on authority that the entire
block on which the county jail
and Criminal Court buildings are
located are to be cordoned with police,
and all North Clark street buildings abut-
ting on the Jail will be guarded with police
officerSA and no one allowed to enter them
until aNer the execution of the condemned
men.
MAKING THE SHRoUDS.
Quite a sensasion was caused to-day
among the inmates of the woman's depart
ment of the Jail by an official request that
they help make shrouds and caps to be used
at the execution of the condemned seven.
Some Of the inmates were willing to do the
work required, and were even anxious to
participate In the ghastly task, but
others were strongly opposed to rem
dering any aid, aud these formed
so large a part of the inmates that it may
be necessary to have the work done outside
the Jail. The material, white unbleache1
muslin, has already been purchased. Each
shroud will be shaped like bag, only with
holes at both ends and gathered close
at the top The goods will be half a
yard in width, and about the same
length, gathered together at the top, which
will be about 10 inches across. The mate
rial is cut into the necessary shape, and lacks
nothing but the stitches that were asked
to-day of the motley crowd of women male
factors confined in the same prison with
the seven death-sentenced Anarchists.

MILLS BURNED.

ST LOUIS, Oct. 25-The saw mill, shingle
mill and planning mill of G. G. Loomis, stu
ated about three miles north of Little Rock,
Ark, on the Iron Mountain railroad, at
Loomis station, was consumed by fire last
night. The cause was fire in the woods, and
so fierce were the flames, and so rapid their
advance, that Loomis and his men were
compelled to seek safety in flight. So
parched and dry were the woods around the
mill that the flames ran through the tops of
the trees, devouring everything in their
way. About $4,000 worth of fine lumber
was destroyed, with all the buildings Mr.
Loomis puts his loss at 100000 to $4,000,
upon which there was no insurance.
